Decisive indecision won the day at the Monday meeting of the Bass Lake School Board of Education.

In a matter of minutes, the board purchased then sold a school bus citing “incomplete information” as the cause of the flip-flop.

The bus in question, a 1991 Chevy short bus, was purchased for $3,000 and sold for $2,500. The original seller and subsequent buyer is the same person, and also the daughter of superintendent Simon Greenless.

Jacqueline Greenless, 25, of rural Bass Lake, said she sold the bus to the school system on the advice of her father.

“He told me it would be an easy way to make some fast cash,” Jacqueline Greenless said. “Besides, it needs a new transmission.”
